Like anywhere else in the United States, an arrest warrant in Olmsted County is essentially a court order commanding the police to arrest you and bring you before the judge to answer criminal accusations. The accusation is usually made by a police officer who brings it before a judge who decides if the accusation has merit based on the legal concept of probable cause. A judge’s determination that probable cause exists does not speak to the suspect’s guilt. Arrests can also be made at the actual incident without a judge’s order.
